What's next?
« on: Mon, 11 July 2016, 11:54:31 »
I'm new here, well new to posting. But figured since I just bought my first kit, its time to take my fascination to a new level.

So here is the question. I own the keyboards below. What's next to add to my collection? I been thinking about a 75% Keycool or Noppoo Choc Mini but I'm open to suggestions. I prefer the smaller boards without TK.

1 X Realforce 87u
1 X Filco Majestouch Ninja's (104 key -  MX Black)
1 X Filco Majestouch Ninja TKL  (MX Black)
1 X Corsair K65 TKL (MX Red)
2 X MagicForce 68 Mini (Gateron Red and Clear)
1 X Pok3r RGB (pre-order from MK)

That's a nice collection you've got there! As it stands, you have MX/MX-compatible Linears (in varying layouts) and a Topre board. I would recommend looking into MX/MX-Compatible Clicky/Tactile switches, Buckling Springs or Alps switches. You might also want to look into building or customizing a keyboard of your own, for many users it seems like the next step. Welcome to GeekHack!

Also, I don't see any Matias, Alps, or MX Clears.  Also,if you are kit building, you might consider ergo clears or Zealios.  Plenty of itches to be scratched.

+1 for Kit Building with Ergo clears/Zealios, I was going to mention them but I felt like I listed too many things as it is.

Try a split keyboard that is tent-able..   Such as the Ergodox.. or that matias one..

Basically, you don't want m0re flat keyboards, because they're very much the same.

Buckling spring (Model M first, then Model F).

Alps - way too many to choose from.

Hall effect?  If you can find one.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

^What he said :p . You've still got the best things ahead of you! :D

Make your first Alps board a white, salmon, orange or green one (depending on if you prefer clicky, tactile or linear), and MAKE SURE IT'S NOT DIRTY. Also, you might want to try Montereys or Space Invaders, particularly if you like clicky.
